Be 4it 4known that I, FREDERIGRHENDERSON, of

Ohio, have invented anew'and useful Improvement in Combined Pincher, Punch, and Shank-Laster; and l I dohereby declare that thefollowingis a full and 'exact description of `the same, reference being had to the accompanying'drawing and to the letters of referencemarked thereon. y i

l This invention hasvbr its object the production of a tool which shall be ablein itself to perform all the l loiiiccs oia punch, shank-laster, and-pinchers; and to that end, v l It consists of a `compact arrangement of thevarif` ons necessary parts, the details ot' which will be fully l described hereinafter. l

F represents a spring, by means of which the handles are ordinarily kept separated. p The operation of my improved tool, when used for av punch or pi'nchers, will be readily understood, andl When used need not be particularly describedhere. `as a shanklaster,theoperation is as follows:

The leather .is lirstA grasped with the pinchers, and

drawn down to the last. The grasp is now slightly relaxed, and the head al thus permitted to move fur- Y ther overto the opposite side of the last, to obtain ay newpurcha'se A series of these movements is neces.- sary tobring the leather toits place. 'lhe head is enabled vto move slightly, Vwithout the jaws ofthe, pinchers being moved, because it is further-removed,

from the pivoting or swinging point, and it necessarily, moves in the arc'of a large circle, while the arms of the jaw D areoperated on the line of a small circle.

A movement sulicient to enable the head to bear l upon a new point 'is not suficient to open the pinchers,

The tool herein described is compact inits arrange-vf 1. The swinging flap a2, whencomhined with'av punch, as described, for the purpose set forth. y
